ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure:
Smooth running – Longer lasting components – Safer riding – Lower running costs
Every time you ride your bicycle, its condition changes. The more you ride, the more frequently maintenance will be required. We
recommend you spend a little time on regular maintenance tasks. The following schedules are a useful guide and by referring to Part 5
